Anyone have any luck locating the SW blue paint code? Judging by the ski mounts, it appears that the paint is the same "yamaha purplish blue metallic" sold by colorrite. Someone posted a recipe to make up a very close ppg mixture, but one of the main components DMD675 has been discontinued and apparently not replaced. I was told today by my dealer that the code is 0585. This means jack when you don't know the supplier. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Permanant blue marker, my mom's idea!!! and it worked, I couldn't believe it !!! It's not perfect but not to bad, I tried it and it made the chip in the blue less obvious. But I agree the the paint code and supplier would be great to know.
On my SRX and Phazer which are the Yamaha blue I always used a Dykem marker. Works great and very good match. Any Machining supply place will have them. McMaster Carr and I believe Fastenal also.

I'll have to check one of my cans to be sure, but I had a srx trailing arm shot with one of those paint scanners years back and the match came back as Honda Neon Blue Metallic. my local Napa mixes up rattle cans of it for me for touching up trailing arms and radius rods. really close match but the newer color looks a little different

Honda electron blue pearl is the color I was using. it's not a perfect match but depending what you're doing its pretty close

Unfortunately, I need a close match. I can't stand the dull plastic look of my LE, so I'm painting the entire from end. Local shop said they could shoot it and miserably failed. Now I have the stock shiny yamaha hood parts connected to a dark blue looking color that isn't remotely close.
Ouch

Attached is the order I placeed to get what I needed for my 2017 Sidewinder and my new 2019 SRX. This was enough to paint the front intake screen grate, center hood and both side panels. www.colorrite.com Let me know if you need anything else. Have a good one!

Ive used this on a few stone chips on my rails. Its not bad but when dry seems a bit darker than the rail colour overall. Going to try that dykem marking pen and see how it goes for a match

Touch up paint and where to get it
Does anyone know where I can find touch up paint for my 2023 Ltx- le? I can't find the "ink blue" colour anywhere.
